...Elwood Leftridge Professor Joanne Land Kazlauskas GPS-4278W 05-01-2013 Putting It All Together a Look at Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company is not only the world’s largest research pharmaceutical company in the world, but also the leader of technological advances. This organization has been in operation for over 160 successful years, and has over 117,000 diverse workers employed worldwide from all facets of life. It is important to employ a solid employee workforce within an organization, this can either make or break an organization. “In 2012 Pfizer was ranked #40 among Fortune 500 with 2011 revenue totaling almost 68 million dollars, and a profit margin of over 10 million dollars”(CNN Money, 2013). The purpose of this paper is to break apart Pfizer into four different organizational perspectives, analyze them, and then put them back together again. Or as with the title of the textbook (Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice, and Leadership. Vol. 4) suggests to reframe organizations to a particular frame or frames. The frames that I will be using to analyze Pfizer Pharmaceuticals will be the Structural Frame, the Symbolic Frame, the Human Resources Frame, as well the Political Frame. To begin, I will describe the Pfizer organization using Bolman & Deal’s Structural Frame perspective. The structural components that I will discuss will be the Division of Labor, the Leadership Structure, and Roles and Responsibilities of the organization...

...Putting It All Together I would have a sit down with my family once a month to discuss the importance of paying your bills on time as well as showing them the importance of saving for the future. Not only for the future but to save anywhere possible. I could show them how much money we could save monthly by reducing our cable service and possibly purchasing a subscription to Netflix or something similar for a few dollars a month. I would discuss the information that I have learned in this course with my children, by showing them my must have documents and making sure that they understand that they need to create these documents themselves when they are older. I will also inform them of my wishes, should I become unable to make them for myself, which would be very important since they would be the ones making the decisions for me. I believe that understanding the importance of saving for retirement and paying bills and having our must have documents updated and in proper order are the most important topics to learn. These topics are everything and they will have the largest impact on our futures. I have cut out a few unnecessary spending habits throughout the duration of this course. There are some habits that I cannot change yet, but plan to do so at my earliest convenience, such as saving for my future and investing in my retirement. When I find employment, I plan to utilize the tools they provide me, if any, to fund my trust as well as beginning to fund my 401k...

...order to make a perfect cake: 1. Preparation 2. The Cake Mix 3. Putting the Cake Together 4. Enjoy Step 1: Preparation The most important part of baking a cake is the preparation that must be done before you start. First get out all the ingredients needed to make the cake and separate the cake mix ingredients from the other ingredients that you will need later on, except the two mixing bowls and the mixer, which will be needed to make the cake mix. Then you need to use Pam to spray the two 9 x 13 inch round pans, so that the cake won’t stick and can be dumped from the pan once it has been baked. Finally pre-heat the oven to 350F. Step 2: The Cake Mix Now it is time to make the cake mix that will be used to make the cake. (This is the stuff that amateurs get from the cake box at the store) Jesse Long Tuesday, April 24, 2012 10:26:12 AM ET 04:0c:ce:d2:70:d6 In the mixing bowl add the 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 a cup of milk, and the 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. After all these ingredients are in the bowl stir with a regular spoon until all the ingredients are blended together a little bit (about 10 stirs), then beat the mixture for one minute with the mixer to create your cake batter. Next in a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and add 1/2 cup of sugar. Use a whisk to beat the egg whites and sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes. After the egg whites...

...Groups and Teams MGT/307 November 28, 2011 Sarah Babu In our old school days we remember the teacher putting us into teams and groups for assignments. Through the years we have developed higher levels of working together to get any job done. School was basic but although the practice began in the elementary days; it is still used in all levels of school all the way to college years. It has been so proficient in accomplishing tasks that are time limited that is has reached to the environment of the business world. Teams and groups are perceived to meaning the same thing but are actually very different from one another. Team is a number of persons forming one of the sides in a game or contest. Usually a team is more commonly known in the sports industries or in typical children and adolescents afterschool sports. A team stands for unity and people coming together to form a stable collaboration of achieving a certain goal and all being united and willing to strive for it. Ideas are equally combined and acknowledged and everyone is treated equally. In the business world it is used more often because the whole business is considered one big team with the same goal of prospering the company and indulge in its growth. Within teams there are certain participation efforts that are taken more seriously; for example, team meetings are made weekly if not daily to keep everyone on the same pace and page. These are the times where the discussions go on of how to accomplish such goals...

...Western Ontario’s is known for putting off several fine operettas over the past few years. This year, Francis Vanden Hoven is the producer of the “H.M.S. Pinafore” which will be taking place from January 13 – January 22. Francis is a student enrolled in the honorary two yea business administration program at the university. Despite being an eager student to take on this role, he has no prior experience as a producer. Knowing that the schedule for the operetta will be hectic and a lot of work, Francis calls for a meeting between himself and his assistants. At the meeting, Francis and his assistants start to discuss the different tasks at hand and what needs to take place prior to the opening show. Everyone seems to be on a different page but is eager to work together. After the meeting, Francis finds that there are 20 tasks to be completed prior to opening night and out of these 20 there are 8 different critical tasks that are considered milestones to reaching the goal of putting off a successful show. Francis also finds that there are four different departments that will be working on getting the show ready for opening night. The big question is, how will all these tasks and departments come together to work on the same program to ensure a successful show in January. The answer to this is through project management. Project management charts and work break down structure will bring everyone together on the same page and ensure proper efficiency to putting off a successful show through...

...It was the summer of 2008 and my family of seven went up north to a rustic cabin on a sparkling blue lake. I woke up one morning to the smell of crisp bacon and fluffy eggs. Logan and I were super excited to go fishing off the dock. We quickly ate our breakfast, so fast that we got yelled at and had minor stomach aches when we were done. After scraping our plates and placing the dishes in the sink, we rushed outside to put our hooks and bobbers on our fishing poles together. To start putting our poles together, we had to get the tackle box with the hooks, bobbers, extra line, and so on. We started putting our poles together and I poked myself with the knife-like hook. Logan was working on his own pole and when he noticed that I accidentally poked myself, he said, “Here, let me help you. Go ask dad where he put the worms and grubs.” As I was walking into the cabin I was stopped by a voice. “We will be out to the dock in a few minutes.” It was my mom. I replied with an okay. While searching for my dad, I glanced at the table and the grubs and the worms were sitting on the table. They smelt like dirt that came from a pond that has not ever been cleaned. With the grubs and worms in my hand, I ran back out to Logan....

...lived out in many parts of the world today.” A contact zone is a place where two cultures can mesh together. People from different cultures are able to interact with each other through these contact zones. A contact zone allows people to look into cultures other than their own. They can get new ideas by looking into another culture, as well as their own. Contact zones allow you to look at things in a new way. Pratt talks about contact zones being seen more and more today. People may have to look beyond how they think of something so that it can be understood by someone who thinks about the same thing in a different way. Pratt defines an autoethnographic text as “a text in which people undertake to describe themselves in ways that engage with representations others have made of them.” Guaman Poma’s New Chronicle is an autoethnographic text because it is mixed Andean with the Spanish culture. Pratt said, “autoethnographic works are often addressed to both metropolitan audiences and the speaker’s own community.” They are merged together so that both groups can understand. You can change something around so that it is said in a way that other people can understand it. You can describe yourself in a way that other people would describe you. You might have to think about and change what you are trying to say so that it can also be understood by someone else. You can learn by putting together what you both know. The word transculturation is used to “describe processes whereby members...

...had observed in each classroom with each other. When I walked into the preschool classroom of Livonia Little Tots the children had just arrived at school. The students were hanging up their coats, saying goodbye to their parents, and finding an activity to play with before the day would officially begin. Some of the children were putting puzzles together, others were playing the game “Ants in the Pants,” and others were cutting fun shapes out of construction paper. They participated in these and similar activities for about twenty minutes while the teacher was preparing for the morning “circle time.” While the students were permitted to play with, however, and whatever they wanted to, the students at the traditional classroom were asked to use their inside voices rather than being allowed to speak in any level of voice. The classroom environment of the traditional preschool seemed to stimulate learning due to the abundance of activities available to the students. During the morning play time the children were given the opportunity to explore many different things, like the play kitchen area, and the art area, and putting puzzles together. The physical classroom environment had artwork done by the students on the walls as decoration. There also were springtime seasonal decorations on the wall to brighten up the room as well. The decorations did not appear to be too distracting, which promotes and enables a stimulating learning...

...to be ordered. The stock number that was put in for the paper was similar to the one meant to be ordered, resulting in the wrong order. How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? A double check of the order, and communication between the purchaser and supplier to ensure the order was correct. Instead of just putting in an order and pushing send, a phone call could have been made to ensure the correct items were put in for order. Who was the sender? The sender was a superior enlisted supervisor that was in charge of putting together a watch schedule for a special detail. Who was the receiver? The receiver was all supervisors of all personnel included in the watch list. What was the message? The message was when the watch was to take place, including who was to start and how often the personnel would rotate, and when the watch would stop. What channel was used to send the message? Email was used to send out the watch list to all supervisors. What was the misunderstanding that occurred? Our department was taken off of the watch list due to a personnel shortage while deployed overseas, and the individual in charge of putting the watch list together was not informed of the changes, creating misunderstanding and confusion amongst our departments. How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? My...

...Running Head: PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER Putting the Pieces Together Tina Derringer HIS 107 March 7, 2010 Worldview may hold many different meanings, such as “a set of assumptions about reality that affect how we think and how we live.” (Cosgrove, 2006, p. 19) Society has their own view on how the world and its components should go together. Although we may not all share the same worldviews, we do have the ability to express our own opinions and arguments on them. Knowledge is something that you learn or remember through experience. Without knowledge where would the world be today? Society has to have knowledge to achieve in the world. Example being teacher’s having to have the knowledge to teach our children to give them the knowledge they need to be successful in the world. Minister’s need to be knowledgeable in order to teach us the way of the lord. It is also important for the knowledge these people press upon us is truthful. Having the proper education is important to spread the factual knowledge you have. Ethics “rules of moral principles governing a group.” (Dictionary, 2008) Defining right and wrong is important to all of us as a society. Teaching others right from wrong is important in order to insure that society is not based on a one sided street. No one person can determine right from wrong, it is basically a live and learn. One person’s right may be another’s wrong. We as a society have to use what we were taught in order...

...Getting a body ready for a funeral visitation is one of the most important jobs of being a funeral home director. This takes a lot of work and time and involves many steps. You first have to embalm the body, glue eyes and mouth shut, dress them, do their makeup, and then putting them into the casket. Doing these steps all together can take many hours and even several days to complete. You just have to make sure you are doing the job correctly. Washing and massaging the body before doing anything else, is a very good thing to do. The body should be completely sanitized and clean before you can make any cuts or incisions on the body. The body should also be clean for the family to be able to look at their loved one. Some examples would be cleaning the inside of the nose, under fingernails, and even their face. When cleaning the inside of the nose, the funeral director will take a special cleaning formula with a q-tip and will dig inside the nose to make sure there isn’t anything inside. When cleaning the nails, the funeral home director will look at both the outside and underneath the nail to make sure there isn’t any dirt. They may even paint the nail depending on...

You can see five men trying to put the American flag up, these five men have probably gone through a very hard battle that day and them putting up the flag symbolizes the American Spirit. Looking at this first photo I see destruction and these five men struggling to put up the flag. In my opinion Americans often times band together in a time of struggle World War II being the struggle these men were going through so they came together to put up their nations symbol and what it represents being the land of the brave and home of the free....
